I was anxious and stressed, mostly because of course I wanted to look my best for this special occasion. I took two products from the newest kit I got from <a href="https://ph.althea.kr/" target="_blank">Althea Korea</a> as an Althea Angel, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tLasj0kKZhg/XOPSN4DTS-I/AAAAAAAA4YY/OAKkaMGwrx0quC3k2A-gtu4YtFLqCdluQCKgBGAs/s1600/20190521_105807.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tLasj0kKZhg/XOPSN4DTS-I/AAAAAAAA4YY/OAKkaMGwrx0quC3k2A-gtu4YtFLqCdluQCKgBGAs/s640/20190521_105807.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My Althea Angel kit filled with A'bloom products!</td></tr></tbody></table>I am not kidding. The A'bloom Brightening Lemon Lime Mask and A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster are LIFESAVERS!<br /><a name='more'></a>Additionally, I'd like to say that I am a sucker for great packaging and oh my, the packaging of these products are too cute for my life! I wanted to just keep them forever but since they're really adorable AND affordable, I guess I have valid reason to hoard!<br /><br />As mentioned, the A'bloom Brightening Lemon Lime Mask and A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster helped me deal with my breakout. Well, they weren't entirely gone but the improvements on my skin were visibly noticeable.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://ph.althea.kr/brands/all/abloom/brightening-lemon-lime-mask-1-sheet" target="_blank">BRIGHTENING LEMON LIME MASK</a></div><br /><i>Simply The Zest</i><br /><ul><li>This brightening mask clarifies and brighten dull skin to unveil the natural glow from within.</li><li>The double dose of Vitamin C from lemon and lime extracts banishes dark spots and green tea boosts brightening while calming skin.</li></ul><span style="font-size: x-small;">Key ingredients: Niacinamide, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract</span><br /><div><br /></div>I am not big on masks, to be honest. Well, I like them for self-care days and all, and I cannot deny that relaxing with a book and a mask on is very indulgent, but sometimes it feels too tedious for something whose effects are not really for long-term. Slapping on the Brightening Lemon Lime Mask was very enjoyable for me though because I LOVED the smell. My skin also looked brighter even after washing my face the next day! I also believe the serum helped in calming my skin down and lessening the redness.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pZHEhb1Dzek/XOPVtyAqF7I/AAAAAAAA4Y4/3_5097E4K1A3RzVr11oZGRZ2wsVZB6xDACKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20190521_085249.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pZHEhb1Dzek/XOPVtyAqF7I/AAAAAAAA4Y4/3_5097E4K1A3RzVr11oZGRZ2wsVZB6xDACKgBGAs/s640/IMG_20190521_085249.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://ph.althea.kr/brands/all/abloom/bha-blackhead-blaster" target="_blank">BHA BLACKHEAD BLASTER</a></div><i></i><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><i><br /></i></i></div><i>Blackhead out without the ouch</i><br /><ul><li>No pain blackhead and whitehead removal with Natural BHA Stick</li><li>Gentle and non-irritating formula treats and prevents new ones from forming</li></ul><span style="font-size: x-small;">Key ingredient: Natural BHA (White Willow Bark Extract 5,000ppm)</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The BHA Blackhead Blaster helped me deal with my blackheads and whiteheads without the pain nor discomfort of other products that aim to do the same.

The pointed tip easily reached my face's "nooks and crannies", and provided a nice finish with medium coverage. I am looking forward to getting more use out of this puff.<br /><br />By the way, here was my bridesmaid makeup look from last Sunday:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-edJsAQlkT88/XOQLE--UszI/AAAAAAAA4ZQ/nx7qmdPfEbQlXaZ84hUbFV1OMxLggFlLQCKgBGAs/s1600/20190521_110133.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Yay! Another hobby to dip my hands into! Well, I've actually liked scrapbooking and cardmaking, but this takes these to another level. Perfect shapes and cut-outs, y'all!<br /><br />To be honest though I tried to prolong using this as much as I could because, I don't know, what if I end up not liking it and it'll be another waste of money and time and effort? I was better off doing all these fancy craft projects in my head, but the metal cutting dies I ordered were calling to me.<br /><br />Eventually I just gave in and opened the box. Thank heavens for Holy Week break.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EmzMTyFVuxw/XLsqB-OG_OI/AAAAAAAA3qE/7ICiSuVGr9Qe3qltf46Lvvqjs6bEo2MqwCKgBGAs/s1600/20190418_183111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1562" data-original-width="1600" height="624" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EmzMTyFVuxw/XLsqB-OG_OI/AAAAAAAA3qE/7ICiSuVGr9Qe3qltf46Lvvqjs6bEo2MqwCKgBGAs/s640/20190418_183111.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Assembling was pretty straightforward.

These are sold separately but the seller was nice enough to include two free metal cutting dies as freebies. I have also ordered a bunch of these and paper beforehand.<br /><br />I have had this idea of changing the cards for <a href="http://instagram.com/krissyfiedmakes" target="_blank">Krissyfied Makes</a> for a while now and this mason jar die looks perfect.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QRpqDIrd_EY/XLsscqTUK5I/AAAAAAAA3qY/qyi3TQ3GjLQMUcC2pmMgD4qstVw_pEpiQCKgBGAs/s1600/20190418_183209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QRpqDIrd_EY/XLsscqTUK5I/AAAAAAAA3qY/qyi3TQ3GjLQMUcC2pmMgD4qstVw_pEpiQCKgBGAs/s640/20190418_183209.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />TA-DA!

This is perfectly normal though according to the hundreds of Youtube tutorials I have watched, although I am already saving up for new back up cutting pads. See? That's how I know my Sizzix Big Shot will be with me for a long time. I already have a long line up of crafting projects for us and I am so very excited.<br /><br />What a perfect birthday gift!

It was so difficult to choose because the colors are all so pretty!! During our trip to the Lion City we went to four different Innisfree stores in Singapore (Bugis Junction, Plaza Singapura, Vivo City, Jurong Point) and ultimately came up with these:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JKNsnBAS1Qw/XLR6X7bUj5I/AAAAAAAA3iQ/TempOo-j8Z4C-Susf8gSFxY7IryGKFbVQCKgBGAs/s1600/20190415_172248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JKNsnBAS1Qw/XLR6X7bUj5I/AAAAAAAA3iQ/TempOo-j8Z4C-Susf8gSFxY7IryGKFbVQCKgBGAs/s640/20190415_172248.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Medium Innisfree My Palette in gold suede | Two My Eyeshadows (Matte) in 1 and 34 | Two My Eyeshadows (Glitter) in 16 and 33 | One My Highlighter (Cream) in 1 | One My Lip and Cheek (Airy) in 2</td></tr></tbody></table>Innisfree released a total of 100 My Eyeshadow (40 matte, 20 glitter, and 40 shimmer), 22 My Blusher (17 powder and five cream), three My Highlighter (one cream and two powder), four My Contour, five My Eyebrow, three My Concealer, three My Corrector, and a My Eyeshadow eye primer, while the palettes to put the components in come in three sizes and different designs. They even come up with limited edition cases. Holy freaking endless possible combinations! Now can you see how tempting it is to keep on building new palettes?<br /><br /><a name='more'></a>I thought long and hard for a possible theme for my first My Palette. Do I go with deviant and outrageous colors? Pink and plum, prim, and proper? Bold and smokey? In the end I chose to go with peach and coral shades; neutral enough for everyday wear but ante can be upped for dressier lewks. I also find the colors flattering for me, and of course since it's a gift from the boyf I'd want it to be something I can use a lot.<br /><br />My Palette of choice is the Medium My Palette in gold suede. Classy. It has two compartments that can fit eight small pans OR four big pans OR four small pans and two small pans. It also came with two mini brushes.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ptKPC4RL9vo/XLR-349g5TI/AAAAAAAA3ic/PUweA1TaitE0bgTEZ5PT5ZMj1C951VGAQCKgBGAs/s1600/20190415_172315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ptKPC4RL9vo/XLR-349g5TI/AAAAAAAA3ic/PUweA1TaitE0bgTEZ5PT5ZMj1C951VGAQCKgBGAs/s640/20190415_172315.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Those black squares are thin magnetic sheets that hold the pans in place.<br /><br />I was worried about destroying the pans when I transfer them but I didn't need to worry because it was so easy!

But as evidenced by the <a href="http://www.krissyfied.com/2019/03/something-new-altheas-makeup-box.html" target="_blank">Althea Eye Palette</a>, their makeup products have improved so much. These colors are all buttery, easy to blend, and very pigmented. Pretty affordable, too! The medium case costs SGD 13, the eyeshadows cost SGD 8 each, the highlighting cream SGD 11, and lip and cheek SGD 12. (J paid for the case and four eyeshadows.)<br /><br />I swatched the colors for you.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FsqcDRrxQN0/XLSH6bjdxnI/AAAAAAAA3jM/4mYhkCQKhQAYYbbp8T2ge9oS10T_4ZRCwCKgBGAs/s1600/20190415_182212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FsqcDRrxQN0/XLSH6bjdxnI/AAAAAAAA3jM/4mYhkCQKhQAYYbbp8T2ge9oS10T_4ZRCwCKgBGAs/s640/20190415_182212.jpg" width="638" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My Eyeshadows (Matte) in 1 and 34 | My Eyeshadows (Glitter) in 16 and 33</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-URzYcf776GE/XLSJNxjwCBI/AAAAAAAA3jY/hSJiTw4mTQk4CxPn1zZ7dQtAd9jYqPZPACKgBGAs/s1600/20190415_182247.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-URzYcf776GE/XLSJNxjwCBI/AAAAAAAA3jY/hSJiTw4mTQk4CxPn1zZ7dQtAd9jYqPZPACKgBGAs/s640/20190415_182247.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">With flash:<br />My Eyeshadows (Matte) in 1 and 34 | My Eyeshadows (Glitter) in 16 and 33</td></tr></tbody></table>Full disclosure: I was supposed to get the My Primer pan instead of M1 but somehow I ended up with this.

I think it'll also be my first time to use a highlighter in this cream form. The colors are pigmented on first swipe so these have to be applied with a gentle hand.<br /><br />My only gripe is how I now have six plastic containers that these shades originally came with. I wish there is a way to purchase new colors without the individual plastic cases, but I understand they're needed for hygienic purposes. I guess I'll just have to find a way to repurpose them.<br /><br />All in all I am very pleased with my customized Innisfree My Palette! As I said, it can get pretty addicting because of how easy it is. Special mention to my boyfriend J for being extra patient for all those Innisfree visits to swatch and test and purchase, hihi. I will make sure to hit the pan on these shades first before I make a new one.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XhKfsAQjEGE/XLSLziflAII/AAAAAAAA3js/gFDCYWWUyu0-izmiTr3IXq48RnVi3UQsQCKgBGAs/s1600/20190409_092525.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="942" data-original-width="1600" height="376" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XhKfsAQjEGE/XLSLziflAII/AAAAAAAA3js/gFDCYWWUyu0-izmiTr3IXq48RnVi3UQsQCKgBGAs/s640/20190409_092525.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I am so excited!</div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/euUA/~4/aSYoGCy9iKo" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>krissy ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/07494802496003823884noreply@blogger.com0http://www.krissyfied.com/2019/04/my-customized-innisfree-my-palette.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977248023623504350.post-55143242602451010702019-04-06T23:30:00.000+08:002019-04-15T16:47:52.505+08:0033<div style="text-align: justify;">Another year older.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cLr43JU_GE8/XLRCpjiLBJI/AAAAAAAA3dE/c2spdcaLiio3ekkhXLYQ_tU1G3Z9DOBmgCKgBGAs/s1600/20190406_231236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cLr43JU_GE8/XLRCpjiLBJI/AAAAAAAA3dE/c2spdcaLiio3ekkhXLYQ_tU1G3Z9DOBmgCKgBGAs/s640/20190406_231236.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I spent my 33rd in Singapore.

I am actually one of the few who choose to wear bras with underwire because I like a li'l cleavage action, but preferably something that doesn't poke nor pierce my skin or even leave welts because as I said, I want a nice décolletage–not undergo modern torture. Plus points if the bra looks pretty. Tough order? Well, with the difficulty I've had in getting bras that tick off all the boxes without costing an arm and a leg, I suppose so.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Oo2aWqdLhiE/XJtgXOAmPZI/AAAAAAAA2xo/4dM3cA0_sE84NOigrR5ZaG-xN0-FyVlpgCKgBGAs/s1600/20190316_150426.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1199" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Oo2aWqdLhiE/XJtgXOAmPZI/AAAAAAAA2xo/4dM3cA0_sE84NOigrR5ZaG-xN0-FyVlpgCKgBGAs/s640/20190316_150426.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br />Well do I have great news for you. <b>Avon Fashions</b> came up with the new <b>Body Illusion</b>, their line of lightest, most comfortable underwear everrr.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X27L4uM_uCU/XJtjZAWx2TI/AAAAAAAA2x0/t6IHyRVarb4V-X1QKBbAicGdT5RaTaX7wCKgBGAs/s1600/20190316_151131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X27L4uM_uCU/XJtjZAWx2TI/AAAAAAAA2x0/t6IHyRVarb4V-X1QKBbAicGdT5RaTaX7wCKgBGAs/s640/20190316_151131.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br />It may seem trivial to some, but there's something about what you wear underneath your clothes that affect your day.

The Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist is a sparkling mix of sweet orange and peach, followed by an ever-graceful echo of rosy floral notes. Not overbearingly strong, this gentle perfume lingers on the body for a long-lasting scent. It also has a non-sticky formula that feels comfortable on the skin, and it embodies the elegance and beauty of Titi in a bottle, perfect for the urban femme.</blockquote>I am not sure if it comes with age, but I find myself more drawn to floral scents lately. I liked the Stay Fresh Sparkling Body Mist because it hit all the right notes for me: floral scent, stays long so I don't have to spray the whole day, and convenient to bring anywhere. I just need to be careful not to spray too much to prevent it from being heady.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another exclusive Althea product they released recently is the <b><a href="https://ph.althea.kr/pore-purifying-serum-cleanser" target="_blank">Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser</a></b>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-721TnG6PSxU/XHgFGC4Pn_I/AAAAAAAA1yU/VG1yN2gsxEQA1i86b33i6lOMmtRBMaVjwCKgBGAs/s1600/20190227_165014" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1599" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-721TnG6PSxU/XHgFGC4Pn_I/AAAAAAAA1yU/VG1yN2gsxEQA1i86b33i6lOMmtRBMaVjwCKgBGAs/s640/20190227_165014" width="638" /></a></div><blockquote class="tr_bq">This beauty superhero whisks away makeup, dirt, and oil with mint extracts while ensuring the skin stays cool and hydrated throughout thanks to a dual moisture cell system that envelopes the skin in a serum-like formula. It prevents the skin from drying out and effectively minimizes enlarged pores, keeping it smooth to the touch. This product also helps to balance the pH levels of the skin to keep it working in tip-top shape! Best of all, it's gentle on the face and suitable even for those of us with sensitive skin. </blockquote>I love this! I have been using this to remove my makeup and double cleanse ever since I got it and my skin feels so clean yet not tight and dry each time!

I'm manic pixie Krissy girl.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn't grow up wanting curly hair. Growing up in a world where TV commercials, billboards, and print ads revered straight long hair, I longed for my naturally thick and wavy hair to transform into magically straight hair that goes back to its perfect state even with all the elements forcing it to look unkempt and messy. So much so that I almost killed it with all the hair treatments I went through.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then I grew up and got more exposed to the fact that beauty cannot be defined by just one certain look. I embraced my thick wavy hair and wore it proudly until I cut it all off for a pixie cut, and then my pixie cut grew into a bob, and my bob grew long. Too long, actually, that my hair got past shoulder-length.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o4ibyv0TnQc/XFHmBnoiBAI/AAAAAAAAr9k/G9opxwYZzuYRVvfwYPZhLqS_pq-lE4GgACKgBGAs/s1600/20190117_175708.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1201" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o4ibyv0TnQc/XFHmBnoiBAI/AAAAAAAAr9k/G9opxwYZzuYRVvfwYPZhLqS_pq-lE4GgACKgBGAs/s640/20190117_175708.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Still, my hairventurous self grew restless and I found myself contemplating another hair makeover. I remember wanting to have a Digiperm before but the salon did not allow me because my hair was rife with chemicals willing it to straighten itself (but not succeeding). I figured I could finally do it now because my hair has been left untreated for almost four years, and the New Year provided the perfect backdrop for my need for a new look.<br /><br />I immediately booked an appointment with Belle, my trusted hairstylist in BENCH Fix Salon in Serendra.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Whenever I get sad, I just remember I have curly hair and my mood improves a lot! It really is a great upgrade—when before my hair was just always unkempt, now it's meant and <u>intended</u> to be unkempt.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nyhCb94ewro/XFHqrEi6RKI/AAAAAAAAr-c/bkOlCiqps6gYC3d22lrj_c8aBQhppMzdwCKgBGAs/s1600/20190117_180626.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1201" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nyhCb94ewro/XFHqrEi6RKI/AAAAAAAAr-c/bkOlCiqps6gYC3d22lrj_c8aBQhppMzdwCKgBGAs/s640/20190117_180626.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />I thought it would be high maintenance at first, but it is actually the easiest hair routine I have ever had!

It already looks great on its own that I don't spend as much time on doing my makeup anymore.

I am not able to take the restful break I longed for since I still need to work over the holidays, but I am extending my vacation by taking leaves from work until Friday. My work-year technically doesn't start until Monday, January 7, but of course there are work emails and messages that need to be attended to. Still, I'm glad for the chance to spend time with my family and loved ones.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Official photos from our office Christmas party have been released and, well, here is a photo of myself displaying reckless abandon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KnvnZHCuBCM/XC5FQp8d4TI/AAAAAAAArTg/ZYMjqjPlCBMGCLlEN6GI-U5kWHG6goFfwCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20190102_184231_329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="851" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KnvnZHCuBCM/XC5FQp8d4TI/AAAAAAAArTg/ZYMjqjPlCBMGCLlEN6GI-U5kWHG6goFfwCKgBGAs/s640/IMG_20190102_184231_329.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I don't really remember what I was laughing at, but I believe this was taken before the winner for Best Costume was announced.

Also, ever since I had a <a href="http://www.krissyfied.com/2018/02/2018-currently-vol-8.html" target="_blank">myomectomy</a>&nbsp;I became more conscious of my reproductive health, and I have heard horror stories about raw materials used in sanitary napkins that can't be good down there. My friend <a href="http://twitter.com/AlexVLapa" target="_blank">Alex</a> is a new menstrual cup advocate and influenced my decision to finally go for it.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I chanced upon the <a href="https://beautymnl.com/brands/anytime-menstrual-cup" target="_blank">Anytime Menstrual Cup</a> being offered on sale in BeautyMNL, I decided to go ahead and purchase one. It took me a while to decide on the size to get and I had to answer an online quiz to see what is best for me (although it wasn't that helpful because I don't know how to check if I have a high cervix) but I needn't worry about that because only Size 2 was available, LOL. Anyway, the description says Size 2 is for women 30 and above, so I thought I'll just take my chance since it's being sold at half the original price. I bit the bullet, bought it, and patiently waited.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My package arrived after two days.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LrwuGX28cv8/XCerAMNFQVI/AAAAAAAAq68/b8TmBTxy5g0pOzNxD1WbAk-Ix2n1AvaOQCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LrwuGX28cv8/XCerAMNFQVI/AAAAAAAAq68/b8TmBTxy5g0pOzNxD1WbAk-Ix2n1AvaOQCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1170.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's pretty straightforward: inside the box you get the medical grade silicone menstrual cup sealed in a plastic bag, an instruction manual, and a pouch for safe-keeping. I'm not entirely sure if there's a difference in the size between this and Size 1 as I didn't see a photo nor infographic comparing the two, or if Size 1 is a bit thinner and softer, but I found the mouth of the menstrual cup I got to be thicker than the ones used in online tutorials, and looked a bit more difficult to fold.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a>I have been reading up a lot on menstrual cups and watching a lot of tutorials before today, and aside from first-hand tips from friends, this is the video I found most helpful:<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o9fPUfm-uYE" width="560"></iframe></center><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I couldn't delay it any longer; it was getting late, I'm on the 3rd day of my period, and I needed to get on it. It's currently past midnight but I'm so psyched I don't think I would be able to sleep before writing about this. Indulge me and let me give you a blow-by-blow account of the past hour.<br /><br /><b>22:45</b> - I started boiling water to sterilize my menstrual cup with.<br /><b>22:50</b> - I put my menstrual cup on the boiling water and let it sterilize for five minutes.<br /><b>23:00</b> - As per the instructions in the video, I washed the cup with a mild cleanser and warm water.<br /><b>23:03</b> - Stripped down to just my bra in the shower, I went to work. I squatted, tried the U-shaped fold and... Nothing happened.<br /><b>23:25</b> - I tried squatting on the floor, I tried sitting on the toilet, I tried standing up, I tried many different kinds of folds, still nothing happened. It was getting a bit bloody. I started praying to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Roman goddess Venus.<br /><b>23:30</b> - I shouted through the bathroom door for my boyfriend to bring me a mirror. Maybe it would be better if I could see?<br /><b>23:45</b> - The bra has come off at this point. I could see in the mirror and I still couldn't do it. There were instances when I could put it halfway in but I would feel my muscles tense and I couldn't put the rest of it in anymore, and it HURT. I started remembering previous fights my boyfriend and I had. I started seeing patterns on the bathroom tiles I have never noticed before. I started getting anxious about the coming year as well as the choices I have made in life that brought me here, to this specific moment, and tears may or may not have fallen. I prayed to St. Anthony de Padua and all the other angels and saints.<br /><b>23:51</b> - The spirit is willing but the body is weak. Squatting on the floor, feeling frustrated and alone with just my menstrual cup in a 7-shaped fold as company, I got ready to give up but for the heck of it I tried again and <i>I swear</i> without thinking about it I started to stand up and : POP : I wasn't holding the 7-shaped menstrual cup anymore? Instead I am seeing just the stem jutting out. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BECAUSE I WAS SO AMAZED?<br /><br /><b>And that is how I was able to put my menstrual cup in after just 51 minutes.</b><br /><br /><i>You think that was difficult? You should have been there when I tried using a tampon for the first time. I literally had people on the other side of the bathroom door shouting encouragements at me. Yes. It was during a beauty event out of town and I suddenly got my period but thankfully I brought a tampon with me because I brought my swimsuit that day and I really wanted to take a dip.</i><br /><br />It wasn't immediately A+ perfect, though. I had to poke around for a bit because I felt it was still folded inside and hasn't completely assumed the proper shape of a menstrual cup, which proved to be challenging because yikes, I haven't trimmed my nails for more than a week. (Note to self: clip nails tomorrow.) After a few minutes poking around and adjusting, I believe it is now secure and firmly in place. I still wore a liner though, just on my first time of using it, in case I didn't put it correctly and I get leaks.<br /><br />Additional trivia that I don't think will be of use to you: I know the menstrual cup can't get lost inside me but I still needed to check the stem a couple of times and ensure I can easily pull it out, heh.<br /><br />I believe I would purchase another one, in Size 1, to see if it's the better fit for me. But right now I can say that it hasn't even been three hours yet but I think I am now the newest menstrual cup convert and advocate! Hooray to not needing disposable feminine pads again!<br /><br />It is half past 1 AM and I shall go to sleep soundly knowing I was able to succeed in the mission I set for myself.<br /><br />Are you a menstrual cup convert? How was your experience? OR are you looking to switch to a menstrual cup? Let me know how it goes!

Aside from being pricey, it's also impractical because I don't have a tub. I reached a compromise with <a href="http://ph.althea.kr/" target="_blank">Althea</a>'s new exclusive product, the <a href="https://ph.althea.kr/milk-peel-cream-mask" target="_blank">Milk Peel Cream Mask</a>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jYl2tP3RNz4/XCnv8jCkwdI/AAAAAAAArFE/RWf5zFZBsSYnRk-DEeuqZzxdkPtOYbj_QCKgBGAs/s1600/20181231_043017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jYl2tP3RNz4/XCnv8jCkwdI/AAAAAAAArFE/RWf5zFZBsSYnRk-DEeuqZzxdkPtOYbj_QCKgBGAs/s640/20181231_043017.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The Milk Peel Cream Mask is a refreshing peel mask that gently strips away dead skin cells.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pnu67FFXZuU/XCnwFn9IT9I/AAAAAAAArFI/GHHfgYyo4yAsk68eObiJuUMY9A1EwKgCgCKgBGAs/s1600/20181231_043151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pnu67FFXZuU/XCnwFn9IT9I/AAAAAAAArFI/GHHfgYyo4yAsk68eObiJuUMY9A1EwKgCgCKgBGAs/s640/20181231_043151.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><blockquote class="tr_bq">Give your skin a big gulp of hydration with the refreshing peeling powers of Althea's Milk Peel Cream Mask!

You may know him as an actor in the TV series <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_(U.S._TV_series)" target="_blank"><i>Rise</i></a>, or from writing, directing, and starring in indies <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy._Thank_You._More._Please." target="_blank">Happythankyoumoreplease</a></i> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Arts_(film)" target="_blank"><i>Liberal Arts</i></a>, or as a Broadway actor, or as a musician. But to me and a lot of other people, Josh Radnor is best known as portraying Ted Mosby in my favorite TV show <i><a href="http://www.krissyfied.com/search?q=How+I+Met+Your+Mother&amp;max-results=20&amp;by-date=true" target="_blank">How I Met Your Mother.</a></i>&nbsp;I have always liked his tweets and have always found his Museletters insightful. This latest one, with the same title as this blog post, struck a nerve and I thought I should share a long excerpt with you.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C9WLPhVwUfg/XCC7fdbvuDI/AAAAAAAAqxQ/kamUDuP7esIqSYWvc8kkW3sE_me0tYqMACKgBGAs/s1600/20181223_004451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C9WLPhVwUfg/XCC7fdbvuDI/AAAAAAAAqxQ/kamUDuP7esIqSYWvc8kkW3sE_me0tYqMACKgBGAs/s640/20181223_004451.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><a name='more'></a><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">Aging is equal parts bitter and sweet. You want kids to grow up, surely, for their voices to change and their clothes to get too small. It's evidence of health, of nature following its proper course. But its also evidence of loss: loss of youth, loss of innocence. <b>There’s just something undeniably sad about the passage of time. </b></span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">Though I've never done it myself there's apparently a Buddhist meditation centered on death, on doing a deep dive into your own impermanence. Rather than crippling us with fear, the meditation is designed to bring death out from the shadows and us more deeply into the present. We think we’re cheating death somehow by banishing it to the back of our minds, but denying death tends to close us off, to make us more frightened and overly-cautious. I can’t help but think we’d be healthier as a society if we weren’t so death-denying, if we didn’t hide away our elders and engage in quite so much youth worship. <b>Keeping death at the front of our minds can liberate us to be more acutely alive.</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">Bruce Springsteen had a line in his Broadway show (which I was fortunate enough to catch in the last week of its run, but you can watch it on Netflix which I highly recommend you do, it’s terrific) where he said something about ‘awakening from the youthful dream of immortality.’ For me it happened when I hit forty. I couldn’t conceive of how I got there but there I was. And then I had some friends who died very suddenly these last few years and this seemingly endless thing began to feel very finite indeed. </span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">Because here’s the truth of it: In the grand scope of universal cosmic time, eighty, ninety years is the snap of a finger. We’re here for just a moment, truly. I have that feeling sometimes on vacations. Like at the start of the vacation you can already sense its ending. The end is baked into the experience. That’s what life is starting to feel like to me. Endings, everywhere I turn. And that awareness brings with it a necessary reckoning: What am I to do with the time I have here? How best to fill my days?</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><b>We humans are the only creatures that live with an awareness of our own mortality. Like with all things that knowledge can either liberate or imprison us.</b> That night at Jeff and Melissa’s I felt strangely liberated. It began in earnest when my sister Melanie and I had a brief chat by the fireplace about our parent’s dying one day and us having to go through their house and sift through the minutiae of their lives. We got instantly sad and cut off the talk quickly, but right afterwards this thought descended and wouldn't let go of me:</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><i><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">My parents aren’t going to be here one day. </span></i><br /><i><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">My parents are going to die. </span></i><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">Now this might seem a morbid thought to have invaded an otherwise festive Thanksgiving. But instead of it being a downer, it brought on a strange kind of euphoria. I began studying the contours of my dad’s face and listening to the melody of my mom’s laughter, features of their form and presence that will one day be merely memory. But for that night, I knew it. They're in excellent health, my parents, but one day - hopefully not for many years - they will be gone. I felt their absence acutely while simultaneously being freed up to enjoy their presence, focusing intensely on all that I loved about their human form so that I’d be able to recall it vividly years from now. </span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">For one night, it felt like I was dropped inside of a dying world, invited into some scene from long ago, a kind of reverse déjà vu. I was able to partially mourn my parents’ deaths while they were still alive, certain that the memory of that evening would be with me always. It felt like a true gift, some sort of divine alarm blaring <i>“This is happening. You are all together. It won’t always be this way. Be here. Drink it in. Love more courageously.”</i></span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">I think we feel regret when we sense we weren’t as present with people during an experience as we know we could have been. I also think it has something to do with love and gratitude unexpressed. I don’t know why it’s so hard to tell the people we love that we love them, that we forgive them, that we hope they forgive us. That we are grateful.</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">All I know is that I was given this gift.</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">To be alive inside of a memory.</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">It was truly odd and terribly sad.</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">And also wonderful. </span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace;">A lot like life.</span><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">There's a quote that goes, <i>"At some point in your childhood, you and your friends went outside to play together for the last time, and none of you knew it." </i>I didn't know that our last Christmas with my <a href="http://www.krissyfied.com/2014/10/my-uncle-karl.html" target="_blank">Uncle Karl</a> was the last Christmas we would ever have with him. Looking back, I wonder if I would prefer knowing. I guess not. But every day I live with the regret that I should have embraced him one last time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Listened to his stories one last time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Said goodbye one last time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The sharp pain evolves into a dull ache, resurfacing when particular memories revisit, but grief never really goes away.

If this wish is granted I can check for you whether its claims to improve skin elasticity and lift the face is true. There are a lot of ways to make the skin look younger. For example, lasers are interesting skincare treatment devices because they bridge the resurfacing and rejuvenation gap. Some laser devices specifically perform resurfacing procedures, also called laser peels. But laser skincare clinicians have been&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nylaseroutlet.com/buy-cosmetic-laser" target="_blank">buying cosmetic devices</a>&nbsp;for their clinics for decades that also perform other types of laser rejuvenation procedures. Laser peels are performed by ablative (surface treatment) lasers, which can also treat deeper skin layers in some instances. They eliminate debris and skin cells that are dead to help healthy cells take over.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4PTS3v8c2GU/XBOjOuui1CI/AAAAAAAAqbA/iwBJ8dN3OtwdqU6eJxDvA81C4yPvU5U_ACKgBGAs/s1600/Screenshot_20181212_230409.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="806" data-original-width="693" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4PTS3v8c2GU/XBOjOuui1CI/AAAAAAAAqbA/iwBJ8dN3OtwdqU6eJxDvA81C4yPvU5U_ACKgBGAs/s640/Screenshot_20181212_230409.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://ph.althea.kr/acne-pimple-master-patch-24ea" target="_blank"><b>COSRX ACNE PIMPLE MASTER PATCH</b></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My friend/ workmate Alex has a bunch of these in the office and last week I tried one and I WAS AMAZED.

In all the years that I have been carefully crafting and posting my <a href="http://www.krissyfied.com/search?q=wish+list" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Christmas wish lists</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> the moment the clock strikes twelve to signal December 1, this is the very first time that I neglected to do so. And it's not like I only missed a week. I missed ELEVEN days! I cannot believe this.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I used to make really nice wish lists, too. I prepare them several days before December 1, making sure that my collages follow one cohesive theme per year. I spend so much time on them, never mind that I rarely get my wishes or I end up getting them for myself anyway.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">¯\_(ツ)_/¯</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zKom9F55_AQ/XA6kWl6yw7I/AAAAAAAAqI4/veg8Clhln2E9mJNdYr4bJs3Wg4raVdUWACKgBGAs/s1600/20181127_202906.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zKom9F55_AQ/XA6kWl6yw7I/AAAAAAAAqI4/veg8Clhln2E9mJNdYr4bJs3Wg4raVdUWACKgBGAs/s640/20181127_202906.jpg" width="638" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The <i>holidaze</i> caught me hard that I completely lost track of the days. I didn't realize Christmas is two weeks away! Work has been eating up most of my time and energy and whatever I have left, I spread to my boyfriend, family, friends, and <a href="http://instagram.com/krissyfied" target="_blank">my business</a>. Hopefully once the Q4 rush is over I can get some time to breathe before preparations for summer campaigns get underway.</div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Now even though I forgot about it doesn't mean Christmas can be shrugged under the carpet and forgotten until time convenient <i>for me</i> arises. I still need to get Christmas presents for my family and friends but now that I'm older and get to appreciate the finer points of technology, going to overcrowded malls and dealing with traffic jams and other harried holiday shoppers do not sound appealing to me. Thank God for online shopping, and thank God even more for I discovered a smarter way to shop and I am sharing it with you.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sdNVMzry0-o/XA6lbRp6inI/AAAAAAAAqJE/mjlZHHJXBDcZY3Wr6R6MUpJbLFDZBVKrQCKgBGAs/s1600/Screenshot_20181210-233748.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="772" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sdNVMzry0-o/XA6lbRp6inI/AAAAAAAAqJE/mjlZHHJXBDcZY3Wr6R6MUpJbLFDZBVKrQCKgBGAs/s640/Screenshot_20181210-233748.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Presenting:&nbsp;<b><a href="https://www.shopback.ph/" target="_blank">Shopback</a></b>&nbsp;with the app available on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shopback.app&amp;_branch_match_id=600731636933851905" target="_blank">Android</a> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1086505626?_branch_match_id=600731636933851905" target="_blank">iOS</a>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So what does Shopback do?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">ShopBack takes all the things we love about online shopping: no lines, no crowds, and no closing hours, and making it even better. Thanks to ShopBack, every gift you buy gets you a gift in return!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Basically, it's a cashback platform, the smartest online shopping hack. <i>But wait, what is cashback?</i> Cashback is basically a rebate wherein you earn back a portion of every peso you spend. It’s a brilliant way to save on purchases because you get something back after.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T2ExBnAwAHs/XA6nOABn9KI/AAAAAAAAqJU/4BWjQrMmBVgkC-L8_N8PiK2NCaieyYDewCKgBGAs/s1600/Screenshot_20181210-234109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="772" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T2ExBnAwAHs/XA6nOABn9KI/AAAAAAAAqJU/4BWjQrMmBVgkC-L8_N8PiK2NCaieyYDewCKgBGAs/s640/Screenshot_20181210-234109.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">See, I have had Shopback for less than a week but I already got Php 92.33 back! Both purchases are from Honestbee: chocolate cake and milk tea.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With ShopBack, you can earn as much as 25% cashback on every amount you spend. This is nothing like the “reward points” from conventional reward programs—you gain actual real cash that you can transfer straight to your bank account.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tbN9TlZCxm4/XA6n2-Tp4mI/AAAAAAAAqJg/_tA--RwkB0oiJHQ38-ePPZAShvytybHQwCKgBGAs/s1600/Screenshot_20181210-235834.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="772" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tbN9TlZCxm4/XA6n2-Tp4mI/AAAAAAAAqJg/_tA--RwkB0oiJHQ38-ePPZAShvytybHQwCKgBGAs/s640/Screenshot_20181210-235834.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">So what do you have to do and is it complicated?

Every morning I walk two kilometers from the place I'm renting to my office in Makati, and it's very important to me that my skin is protected from the harmful rays of the sun. I actually prefer walking to the office barefaced and just do my makeup when I get to the office to prevent it from "melting"; I have gone to work sans filled eyebrows, lipstick, nor powder, even, but sunscreen is my non-negotiable.<br /><br />When I received news about the <b>Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway</b>, I was intrigued but also a bit skeptic. You see I already have a grail sunscreen but since it's inherent in me as a beauty blogger to be excited about new products to road-test, of course I was also excited.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MxaTWjSArYE/XAtq6gf-HBI/AAAAAAAAqEQ/qIqiZ651k3E8gmOpSAj8DB8WdDODy6HTACKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1599" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MxaTWjSArYE/XAtq6gf-HBI/AAAAAAAAqEQ/qIqiZ651k3E8gmOpSAj8DB8WdDODy6HTACKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1154.jpg" width="638" /></a></div><br />Aside from the new Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway, my Althea Angels package contained a super cool transparent holographic pouch I can use as a pencil case and three variants of the <a href="https://ph.althea.kr/petal-velvet-powder" target="_blank">Althea Petal Velvet Powder</a>, all from <a href="https://ph.althea.kr/brands/all/althea" target="_blank">Althea's homegrown brand</a>, exclusive only to <a href="https://ph.althea.kr/" target="_blank">Althea Korea</a>.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ViP9qDZXJIw/XAtr-y-yYgI/AAAAAAAAqEY/vNIdxcOit7EBEUNojiqEDoAYYSnU36gogCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1155.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ViP9qDZXJIw/XAtr-y-yYgI/AAAAAAAAqEY/vNIdxcOit7EBEUNojiqEDoAYYSnU36gogCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1155.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9923_twYWYQ/XAtsS40fPeI/AAAAAAAAqEk/ZVIA7S7KNTAbsz4IklGeR8-0OFaaVJwlgCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9923_twYWYQ/XAtsS40fPeI/AAAAAAAAqEk/ZVIA7S7KNTAbsz4IklGeR8-0OFaaVJwlgCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1156.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><blockquote class="tr_bq">Shield your skin from the sun's rays and give it some petal protection with Althea's Petal Velvet Sunaway! Ultra lightweight, this invisible sunscreen is formulated with Damask rose extracts, ensuring that your skin stays fresh and hydrated throughout the day without any streakiness or a white cast. It has an SPF of 50+ and PA++++, so your skin'll be kept protected all day. As part of the Petal Velvet line, it also contains micro-powder particles that give you a smooth, petal-like complexion.</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P57UsUZZui0/XAtsn82CM1I/AAAAAAAAqEs/_PPO5wvqhwodhLSkw92LkzgLeLBqyjJ_wCKgBGAs/s1600/Screenshot_20181208_135423.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="678" data-original-width="679" height="638" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P57UsUZZui0/XAtsn82CM1I/AAAAAAAAqEs/_PPO5wvqhwodhLSkw92LkzgLeLBqyjJ_wCKgBGAs/s640/Screenshot_20181208_135423.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />They're not lying about the "smooth, petal-like complexion" because that was the first thing I noticed when I tried this product. It feels so light on the skin, even lighter than the suncreen I was used to. It have also noticed that my skin feels smoother after applying this on my face, and I feel it can also prep my skin for makeup. I also find my skin gets less oily with this sunscreen on.<br /><br />I guess the key ingredients also help the Petal Velvet Sunaway's skincare properties:<br /><br /><ul><li>Damask rose extract - Deeply hydrating; soothes irritations, leaving the skin feeling healthy</li><li>Geranium oil - Gives the skin a radiant boost and heals acne</li></ul>Here is the complete list of ingredients:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot; , &quot;courier&quot; , monospace; font-size: x-small;">WATER, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, ZINC OXIDE, DISILOXANE, PROPANEDIOL, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, DICAPRYLYL ETHER, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, PELARGONIUM GRAVEOLENS FLOWER OIL, SALVIA OFFICINALIS (SAGE) OIL, POGOSTEMON CABLIN OIL, CITRUS AURANTIUM BERGAMIA (BERGAMOT) FRUIT OIL, ROSA DAMASCENA FLOWER EXTRACT, PEG-10 DIMETHICONE, STEARIC ACID, ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE, VINYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE SILSESQUIOXANE CROSSPOLYMER, SODIUM CHLORIDE, TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, SORBITAN CAPRYLATE, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, POLYGLYCERYL-6 POLYRICINOLEATE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, ETHYL HEXANEDIOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL</span></div><br />The powdery floral scent is also a plus for me, but might be an issue for those who are sensitive to fragrance. The scent dissipates after a couple of minutes, though.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz8LCpSEPMs/XAtvRPL_IuI/AAAAAAAAqE4/YlBaen0N2NI6Luaji9SuxKHiID5DLlt-ACKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz8LCpSEPMs/XAtvRPL_IuI/AAAAAAAAqE4/YlBaen0N2NI6Luaji9SuxKHiID5DLlt-ACKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1157.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I have been using the Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway as my sunscreen every day since I got it, and I will gladly repurchase once this runs out.

In a couple of hours, I would have to pack my bags, say goodbye to my family here in Valenzuela, and go back to Makati.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nevertheless, since I am a cup half full person, I will try my best to forgo my separation anxiety from the long weekend and just be thankful I had this weekend to begin with.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For one, I am typing these words while my hair is in a shower cap, being nourished by coconut oil.

I wanted to stand up and sing along. What an experience! And Rami Malek did a great job bringing Freddie Mercury back to life, he deserves all the awards. Inspired acting, superb performances. I wish I can watch it again for the first time. Also, the movie made me miss Nate Ruess even more. He has been compared to Freddie Mercury a lot of times before and it makes sense because of the intensity and electricity he gives every performance. I wish he releases new music again.<br /><br /><i>Fortune favors the bold</i>, as Jim Beach declares in the movie when Queen was presenting their ideas to a recording executive.

I am currently 32 years old—I am liking what I am seeing so far, but I know I need to step up my skin care routine.<br /><br />When <a href="https://ph.althea.kr/" target="_blank">Althea Korea</a> asked us Althea Angels if we would like to participate in trying out curated boxes with products from Korean beauty brand <b>Dear, Klairs</b>, I immediately signed up for the Anti-Aging Angel kit. I received my box in less than two weeks.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4Edg-yj3K5U/W9mDHidWalI/AAAAAAAApAI/DkVfKEdjbf0k8GH9vvI3lfzSDqlD5GnCACKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1075.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1596" data-original-width="1600" height="638" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4Edg-yj3K5U/W9mDHidWalI/AAAAAAAApAI/DkVfKEdjbf0k8GH9vvI3lfzSDqlD5GnCACKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1075.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />It's my first time to use Dear, Klairs products but I have read a lot of raves online and from my friend Joel so I was pretty excited. Read on for my full review.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sa3Ak_vZDMI/W9mDaN3mcoI/AAAAAAAApAQ/_QCLHIFRmtYnUm9_6_AcdvigkTDtXdcLwCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1076.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sa3Ak_vZDMI/W9mDaN3mcoI/AAAAAAAApAQ/_QCLHIFRmtYnUm9_6_AcdvigkTDtXdcLwCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1076.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://ph.althea.kr/klairs-toner-mate-2-in-1-cotton-pad" target="_blank">Dear, Klairs Toner Mate 2-in-1 Cotton Pad</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Php 340.00</span></div><br />You know how cotton pads absorb most of the product you put that you end up using less than half the product on your face, therefore wasting precious skin care products in the process? The Toner Mate 2-in-1 Cotton Pad aims to put a stop to wastage by making sure all the products end up where they're supposed to be: on your face.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1uY3EeWPb8Y/W9mEocIIroI/AAAAAAAApAc/1sNHgyh_H_M2wWinBMRE6tV7f67zqocEgCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1077.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1uY3EeWPb8Y/W9mEocIIroI/AAAAAAAApAc/1sNHgyh_H_M2wWinBMRE6tV7f67zqocEgCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1077.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />There are two types of cotton pads in one box: compressed and sponge type.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YIw6TarpoNE/W9mE-qC64aI/AAAAAAAApAk/ZOyZxgW8jgMbDkUeAKy7tsXOTnoE8-grQCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1078.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1596" data-original-width="1600" height="638" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YIw6TarpoNE/W9mE-qC64aI/AAAAAAAApAk/ZOyZxgW8jgMbDkUeAKy7tsXOTnoE8-grQCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1078.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />After cleansing my face, I use these with my toner. Unlike other cotton pads, these do not absorb the toner. First, I wet the compressed cotton with my toner and wipe on my face to remove dirt and dead skin cells that washing my face did not completely remove, and then I use the sponge cotton to dab more toner on my face. It's said to be the smartest way of using a toner, and I am glad I learned something new with this product; I thought you were just supposed to wipe the toner off, but now I found out you can also leave it on. My skin feels so relaxed after.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5jQAMObTavc/W9mGESV-doI/AAAAAAAApAw/R8XHhXDsjwUbNk73Em49SkkbieAfvqDgQCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1079.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5jQAMObTavc/W9mGESV-doI/AAAAAAAApAw/R8XHhXDsjwUbNk73Em49SkkbieAfvqDgQCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1079.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://ph.althea.kr/supple-preparation-facial-toner-1oz-30ml" target="_blank">Dear, Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Php 260 for 30 mL</span></div><br />I used to dislike toners because they sting my skin, until I discovered gentler products. Now my skin care routine feels incomplete without it! I am happy to report that the Dear, Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner feels gentle and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized after. It has Phyto-Oligo that helps to thoroughly moisturize the skin to help resolve skin dryness and wheat amino acids that help reduce inflammation in the skin and provide deep hydration. It doesn't contain alcohol, artificial perfume, nor other harmful ingredients. I also love that it comes in travel-size!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1Nn3MYlU3bI/W9mH4obVqlI/AAAAAAAApA8/fp5lLYW8DXIyxxbldV0TGaMtwprhbyKoACKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1Nn3MYlU3bI/W9mH4obVqlI/AAAAAAAApA8/fp5lLYW8DXIyxxbldV0TGaMtwprhbyKoACKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://ph.althea.kr/midnight-blue-youth-activating-drop-20ml" target="_blank">Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop</a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Php 1,560</span></div><br />The Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop is said to be a good night serum for tomorrow’s skin, suitable to be used by anyone from 20 to 50 years old. It is said to "erase the trace of tiredness and time by going deep into the skin and improve general skin condition" and God knows I need that because long hours at work leave me feeling and looking drained lately.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h9KW_RyRTJE/W9mJF3CF5gI/AAAAAAAApBI/tWQPVJQoKf0GvICZziOKmdZmiqdrrtoyQCKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1081.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1596" data-original-width="1600" height="638" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h9KW_RyRTJE/W9mJF3CF5gI/AAAAAAAApBI/tWQPVJQoKf0GvICZziOKmdZmiqdrrtoyQCKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1081.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />You have to be careful when using this though because the consistency is too watery; I ended up losing a couple of drops because they seep through my fingers. It is much better to apply directly and let the few blue drops be absorbed into the skin. You can apply several times on the concerned areas.<br /><br />While I have yet to see its full effects, I am glad to report that I haven't seen any adverse reactions, either. I just don't like its smell, though. I don't hate it, but I am not a fan of it. It doesn't bother me to the point of avoiding this product altogether, though, as the smell fades away a few seconds upon application.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fw0_NR-28NY/W9mJ9phfRfI/AAAAAAAApBQ/KemeGJ8MVkoaxoyallyvR_dndLi95_LYACKgBGAs/s1600/ACS_1082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1594" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fw0_NR-28NY/W9mJ9phfRfI/AAAAAAAApBQ/KemeGJ8MVkoaxoyallyvR_dndLi95_LYACKgBGAs/s640/ACS_1082.jpg" width="636" /></a></div><br />I was able to incorporate all products into my existing skin care routine, and I would happily repurchase the Dear, Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner when it runs out. In the meantime, I would keep on slathering on SPF every day, hydrating myself, and try to get as much sleep as I can. The operative word is try.<br /><br />Do you want to age gracefully, too?
